Trump Tipped Off Oil Companies Before Venezuela Action, Not Lawmakers
Trump informed oil companies, not Congress, about a Venezuela operation, sparking concerns over constitutional procedure and corporate ties.
More details:
🧩 Simple Version
Imagine President Trump had a really big, secret plan about a country called Venezuela. It was all about oil and changing how things work there.
Instead of telling the important grown-ups in Congress first, he told some big oil companies. It's like telling your toy company friends about a super-secret toy launch before telling your parents who need to approve the budget!
🚨 How Fox Would Spin It
Oh boy, if Fox News reported this, they'd probably say,
"President Trump is a GENIUS! He's cutting through the sleepy government red tape to make America rich with oil! Globalist losers in Congress just want to stop him from winning! Our President is always putting AMERICAN BUSINESSES FIRST, and that's fantastic for YOU!"They'd paint it as him being a hero for business, ignoring those pesky rules.
🌿 DeFoxed Reality Check
Here's the real scoop: President Trump actually said he spoke with U.S. oil companies about his Venezuela plans both before and after the action began. He even mentioned they would "do a great job" and "make money" there.
But here's the sticky wicket: he didn't tell Congress beforehand. In our country, Congress usually has to approve big military moves or foreign actions. This rule is super important to make sure no one person has too much power.
Plus, some lawmakers are now saying that Secretary of State Marco Rubio might have tricked them about what was really going on. It’s a bit like someone hiding the cookie jar after being told not to!
💡 Why This Matters
This is a big deal because it affects how our country makes important decisions. If a President bypasses Congress, it can mess with the system designed to keep things balanced and fair.
It also makes people wonder if these big choices are really for everyone's good, or just to help certain companies get richer. We need our leaders to be honest and follow the rules, always!
